‘Fu King Cheap’ is a limited edition (1/10) fine art photograph, by Rossano B Maniscalchi, which brings a new meaning to ‘the art of technology’. It forms a portrait of three delicately framed asian women, each with chopsticks in hand, poised to dine on raw printed and surface mounted circuit boards. Their bodies form an assembly line, in three colour options, which is superimposed, with an element of transparency, onto the fluid transmission lines of an enlarged circuit board. This transparency reflects the superficial and hedonistic nature of those considered to be perfect people wrapped up in their uninhibited pursuit of the very latest that technology can offer as fingertip bling. The power of this vibrant luxurious image lies in the way that it celebrates and echoes the scientific achievement of circuit boards. Equally it delivers beauty, elegance and electric positivity on a superficial level, while also conveying the repetitive, prefabricated and standardized world that mass technology aims to deliver.
